When I was away this weekend, something chomped my lettuces, but spared my arugula. I ended chomping some tonight and it was the spiciest, sweetest most delicious arugula I've ever had... take that, critters!

I’ve been making these Grilled Veggies for 9 YEARS and they never get old!! Every summer I forget just how GOOD they are until I fire up the grill again.

One easy marinade, straight on the grill, and I’ll walk you through exactly how to time everything so every bite is perfectly cooked!

Difficult decisions in the gardening planning

It seems to be a juggle now, preparing for transferring some pods into the hydrophobic setup while still growing some of the winter greens to maturity. Light (and heat) are the main deciding factors, as the largest greens no longer need as much of either (nor nutrients, so tap water will be just fine) so they sit on a window ledge waiting to be eaten. Those you see in a clear plastic box on the green stool at the base of the garden setup.

I really need to harvest the big Bok Choy plants in the bottom, but they're not doing any harm where they are, so will use them as needed. And they're so pretty.

The growing broccolini seedlings are in their nursery sitting on top of the tray of the garden, to take advantage of the light, before they're ready to move. Should they go into the hydroponics garden as an intermediate step, (the tomatoes and peppers will definitely)? Or directly into pots to plant out? Decision deferred on that one for the moment.

The tomatoes are germinating and growing so they needed the light turned on for them (second photo) , while still requiring the heat mat. The peppers also on the heat mat don't need the light but do need the warmth. They are slower to germinate, no signs yet. I hope that light is enough to prevent leggy growth. Also the light will only be on for 13 or so hours a day, as it's not on a timer as is the garden.

So here we are. Spring is starting in Eastern Canada. And my garlic outside is about 6-8 inches high!

New week, new pixel art/2D sprites thread!
I made a huge collection of food sprites and I turned some in pixels

Good things in the kitchen make life better.

Potato, cucumber, tomato, lots of herbs and spices.

One thing I have learned from gardening on my balcony is that most plants do not really like regular gale force winds.

Oven to 400
Broccoli on pan
Olive oil drizzle
Salt, Pepper, Garlic, Parmesan
Roast.

Everybody knows that recipe, or a similar one, and it always turns out well.

Now replace the broccoli with celery. It feels gross just thinking about it. Is it do-able? Would it be good?

Just about 1/2 hour simmering to go so I added the garlic and basil. Really enjoy cooking this when there’s a caregiver here so not one interruption. Since I have significant ADD, I must focus very hard for hours to get all the additional veggies into the pot on time. #Tomatoes #Veggies #Food

Here I am, successfully not watching for “news” online about you-know-what. Making a little spaghetti sauce today. Oh my, the aroma! I add a lot of veggies to our sauce. #Food #Tomato #Veggies #SpaghettiSauce

Do you like salsify? (Schorseneren)

I love tofu and rice with pretty much any combination of veggies and seasonings. It’s my favorite food.

Felt like working on some photos today but only got a few "done" . Instead I present you a display of organic produce at Whole Foods in Tempe, AZ. #Food #Veggies #Vegetables #WholeFoods
